FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Day 1 at the Verizon Wireless King of the Cape Freestyle Pro-Am.

June 7, 2003
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA

WEST DENNIS, MA -- Day one of the King of the Cape had a promising start in the early morning with winds blowing around 10-13kts, however with cloud cover slowly approaching, any chance of strong thermal winds of spring were squashed. With hopes held high following the Nevin Sayre Kids Camp, the event began with running the Novice and Amateur heats. When it came time to run the Pro Division, the first heat of round one was started but had to be abandoned half way through when winds became virtually non existent. After a break in the action the winds started up again but not quite enough to make a go for the pro division so, the Amateur and Novices rounds were continued. By the time round two was completed, the winds again had died off. Not your normal June on the usually sunny Cape Cod. To locals, citing an unusual spring, it seemed par for the course the past month or so. The heats were abandoned around 4pm, and sailors released for the day.

Nothing was going to stop the fun at the King of the Cape with a HUGE BBQ sponsored by RED BULL at the Improper Bostonian with more ribs, salads, burgers, and hotdogs than anyone could eat followed by the rocking tunes of a local band that played out the night till the wee hours. Everyone was partying hard and sprits were high, hopeful for decent conditions tomorrow. Forecasts are calling for wind early in the day again with the front passing over night tonight. Skippers meeting will be started early and heats beginning the morning with hope of getting as many pro rounds completed to insure a proper result.
